This verse waves the breast as Moses' assigned portion.
Read It With
- Leviticus 8:14-30
Read through 8:14-30 and watch how each actor, material, status, or command relates. Leviticus 8:29 waves the breast as Moses' assigned portion; the whole unit establishes this: Purification, burnt, and ordination offerings are performed; blood and oil mark the priests and garments, and their right ear, thumb, and toe are touched.
Why It Needs Context
Leviticus 8:29 waves the breast as Moses' assigned portion; reading it alone would sever that detail from the actors, category, and outcome in Leviticus 8:14-30.
